Collaboration:

VHSA works extensively with state and local organizations and leaders in early learning. Opportunities for our families are expanded as a result of these partnerships. This means that young children and their families receive the services they want to be successful. Key partners help with health, mental health, oral health, developmental delays, school transitions, housing, food and other economic services and many more services.

Advocacy:

VHSA provides a strong voice about high quality early learning in Vermont. We educate State and Federal lawmakers who make decisions that affect low-income children and families. Our voice is made stronger by Head Start parents and graduates, partners and community members that tell their story about the impact of Head Start.
